U forgot that ur naira has totally lost its value, 20k say 10 years ago is equivalent to 200k as at today. So think about it, do u not expect them to make appropriate adjustments to school fees too?

but they can’t adjust the country’s minimum wage

Whoever vote for tinubu in 2027 and his father or mother wasn't given appointment by t pain, needs to be --------

Thank you APC

Walai:
Stop arguing what you don't know. I can say it on good authority that no student dropped out because of funding in federal universities. In some depts then, you can graduate without paying a dime of school fees after year one but you must pay during clearance. 99% dropouts are unserious students and those that joined cult.

Lolz.I stop going to school because I can't afford hNd form.I am a victim so talk another thing

Really?

When Tinubu wanted to devalued the naira last year. They called it unification of naira.
What has it achieved so far?
Sufferings and Nigerians continued to pay the price for it till tomorrow.

The naira had to be devalued. Buhari was spending loans to defend a weak currency.

The solution to this, as I have always stated, is to have few children.

Nothing else.

For the children, they should be prepped on mathematics from a very early age.

SamuelLoch:
Who made the naira lose its value?Who is managing the sectors determining the naira?One man increased school fees by more than X10.
I understand that some were paying N8k at a time, then it was re-adjusted to N14k. Then from N14k to about N200k. How do you explain this?
Public Universities should be subsidize and well-equipped but no, the case is different here.
Some of the structures in the institutions were built by private individuals, organizations, alumnus, etc
Rather than equipping the educational sector, they are screaming "student loans" like it's some sort of timely and innovative policy

As a country, we don't have the money to subsidise education. The solution is to either increase fees or taxes or both. The other is to increase production of goods and services geared to the export market.

Nigeria is becoming like the abroad Nigerians in Nigeria troll at.

nedekid:
And what will 20k do for a student monthly? Aside 2ce daily paid for school food, every week each of my pikins runs atleast 30k and that is being conservative.
Even local public primary school for Lagos 20k no fit carry pikin go school not to talk of school fees and pocket money.

20K as pocket money is too small for a student in a local public school in Lagos?

Ainya

Doing HND is like restarting the school once more, we're talking of uni here. Just try pay year one schl fee in your first year to get your reg no and nobody will worry you for school fee till you graduate then. Yes, they will do school fee check once in a while during exam but its school policy then not to deny any student exam because of school fees. I'm talking of a Northern federal university. Anybody telling you he dropped from federal university because of school fees then is lieing to you.

The tax master and chief exploiter is in power right now. So ever government establishment has joined in the impoverishment of Nigerians

But, were people making 20k ten years ago now making 10x such amount now? Have people's wages increased by tenfold?

Dididrumz:
So as the naira has lost its value, are the people earning more now to warrant such hikes in school fees in federal government and State government owned institutions....?

Same thing I wanted to say. The salaries are literally the same, no much changes. No Professor is earning up to 600k, now, you can imagine what others in the lower cadre take home every month.

He said school fees + pocket money.
Can 20k run school fees and pocket money for a child in school in Eg downtown ayobo not to talk of Ikeja? How much is transport along with minerals or snacks or to buy bread and ewa with pure water as school lunch?
You personally how much do you give your child daily to school just as pocket money not to talk of school fees? My pikin the only still in secondary school, aside sch food paid for, transport taken care of with school fees, she grabs 1500 from my wallet and her mother adds 500. That is 2k daily.

Tohsynetita1:
Meanwhile people are still going without having any skill, only for them to come back to beg .
There was a guy that does some task for me online, he his doing nysc and he does beg me for 1k once in a while. Imagine, 1k to eat.
New generation needs to take skills seriously than education.

True talk

Ask again if they made changes or improvements to what is taught or teaching materials.

None has changed or improved but they are quick to increase monies for tuition

The government that does not have money to subsidize education has money (in billions) to buy luxury vehicles every 4 years (or less) then still pay billions to customize the vehicles to bullet-proofs. They still have money for several other stuff that are secondary, too.

If they intend to invest in education, even for a category of students, they will. This government benefits more from the lack of education of their population. Asides the fees to get educated, what about the type of courses and curriculum?

AI Overview

Yes, many private university employees in the U.S. have unions, and they have the legal right to form them. This applies to various employee groups, including faculty, graduate student workers, and other staff.

If not because of oppressive behaviour by Nigeria leaders even private institutions are supposed to have Unions.
If Dangote has built is refinery in Europe or even in the Indian that he is bringing workers from would say that the workers can not join union. He does not have the right to say so or he runs it himself or he create robot to run it for him.

He has he right to sack then
How can you basically take control of a business from its owner in the name of union

Thank you for your reply. I'm just stunned at the increase in the cost of living.

P.S. I'm unmarried and have no child.

NastiLord:
2000 to 2005 all my school fee for Unical back then no reach 70k.

2010 I paid 30 plus as new student

Employer has the right to employ but not to sack under such circumstances. You can't do such things in a lawful society. Because independence body will step in to investigate his claim of sabotage. Did anybody investigated his claims? The answer is no.
In Europe such would be investigated and if they found out that it was false but because of they joined union they will fine the company and plus that you will compensate the workers.
It's about the reason you are laying of workers.
Both US and Europe lay of workers Na. No be so. But doing that because you staff join union is total unacceptable.

Amazon does it all the time.It is unacceptable anywhere. This is what creates inefficiencies and corruption

Same stories they told u over and over again.

Obj, GEJ, etc are all spending money to defend the naira and only tinubu is not spending money to defend the naira ? Well done

Tohsynetita1:
You this people, you don’t compare Nigeria with Abroad in good thing than bad things. Whenever if Favours you people, you compare.
Why can’t you compare minimum wage, unemployment rate? Nonsense

Unfortunately, we have to benchmark with stand best practices and value. That's the only way we can grow. I don't want to enjoy Nigeria alone, I want my great grandchildren to enjoy Nigeria as well, if we keep subsidizing every thing there will be nothing left for them.

Don’t worry, wait till going to university becomes a miracle, you think you are smart and knows the country you are.

- Oil prices were high during OBJ and GEJ times. A high oil price leads to a strong naira. The same in Ghana as gold prices have soared. The cedis gets stronger. Gold and cocoa prices have ballooned in the past year. The cedis is bound to be strong. However, Nigeria does not need a strong naira. Also, except there is a global war, oil is not hitting $150 anytime soon.
- OBJ greatly reduced our debts.
- Jonathan initiated reforms in the economy.
- Buhari (worse than Abacha) allowed wanton oil theft such that we could not meet OPEC quota.
- Buhari squandered the money left by GEJ
- Buhari borrowed and borrowed and even used future oil sales (remember we weren't meeting OPEC quotas) as collateral for more loans
- We spent a lot of borrowed money to refinance our debts and defend a weak naira.
- Buhari allowed his marauding brothers to wreck havoc on Nigerians, their communities and investments
- ...and many more atrocities by him.

I did not, nor did my parents, campaign and vote for Buhari in 2015 (see my signature). My question for Tinubu and his supporters is, why did they support such an incompetent man whose incompetence was glaring?

Oil price was 13 dollars in earlier period of obasanjo before it slowly climb to 40+ dollars.
